View Full Version : zabbix_agent(d) and Firewalls
Hi,
I've now read quite a few forum posts and the documentation, and somebody mentioned that you can choose wether the agent should listen or push its data. However, I was unable to find the option where I can enable this.
I need to monitor a server which is behind a firewall, so it's not actually monitoring, but reporting.

I think this option is not yet implemented and was discussed as a feature request for further versions.
Nice to know, so I think I have to stick with an SSH tunnel.

Good to hear :)
Do you also consider any kind of enryption for the traffic between zabbix client and server for any future V1.1Alpha x release? ;)

Great :)
As for the encryption type, symmetric encryption is fine. If i remeber correctly, bflowfish has the advantage of manageing unaligend data blocks within the algorithm, but i can be wrong.
